(Based on the manga Sakamoto Days. Really cool, you should check it out!)
Ah, Tokyo. The sights, the colors, the tourism, the... assassins? The leaning tower of Tokyo? The assorted bloodstains? Yes, this is Japan, but not the one you know. In this world, assassins (and assassinations) are common. As are serial killers, and shadowy organizations...
...moving on. You are an assassin (or someone else who kills for fun completely justified reasons). You might be an amazing sniper, or an incredible hand-to-hand combat expert, or possibly a maniac that chops people up with razor sharp string. However, who(or what)ever you are, you are definitely unique.
RULES:
Include the name of somebody assassinated in your first post. If you don't know anyone, just include "glasses."
Please do not use too much inappropriate language (such as repeated swearing).
If an argument gets out of hand, use PMs to talk about it. They could clog up the main thread.
Please keep things appropriate and don't overly describe any gore or any brutal actions. Even though you're assassins that doesn't mean you have to describe everything.
Try to avoid 18+ scenes or content (just fade to black), because we have no idea who's reading these posts. If you and other players want to do something like this, just take it to a PM.
Please shorten the quote chains for ease of mobile users.
Emphasize when you're speaking OOC.
Include a trigger warning if talking about things such as suicide.
Include the name of somebody assassinated in your first post.
If these rues warrant it, I'll give you a reminder upon breaking them.
Character Creation/Things to Know:
Sakamoto Days is a dark comedy. With this in mind, you could emphasize the "dark" part and create some very dark characters. However, it should be noted that often, most characters have a comedic touch to them; for instance, the sniper Heisuke Mashimo is an excellent marksman, but is also extremely poor and often overreacts. Don't let this limit you, though; make whatever kind of character you want to make! Maybe just try to stay away from triggers, okay?
Sakamoto Days also resembles an urban fantasy, so some people have superpowers (though they are highly uncommon) or utilize their own skills to almost seem as though they are superhumans. If you want to have a superpower but aren't sure what to make it, usually a 1st or 2nd level spell would suffice, so you could use hose as inspiration.
It should be noted that there is a real chance your character could die. If you don't wish for this to happen, just invent a deus ex machina to save them, or just let them die.
Speaking of health/death, if you want to make a character sheet, you don't have to make an Assassin Rogue for your char. Any class could work, and any level, too! (Though try not to just make a bunch of level 20s. That'd be boring for people who want to kill you. Also maybe avoid magic-based classes unless you can explain it away somehow)
Also, as aforementioned, there are shadowy organizations. You can start one of these, if you would like, and other people could join it! If I see a faction is made, I'll make a "faction" list, and then you'll be a faction!
Hiya, there! I'm Gonzalo2, but you can just call me Gonz! (Don't ask about what happened to Gonzalo1.) I'm just an ADHD theater nerd who has too much time on my hands and too little sleep! I'm usually at Camp Half-Blood, which I moderate, and have seventeen characters on. Like I said, too much time on my hands, too little sleep.
